Open Up!

I got a new cell phone cover for my phone last week. My old case had been beaten up so much because of the number of times that I've dropped my phone, basically because of my constant use of it. After getting this new case for my phone, I started to think about how much most of us actually use our cell phones. I think that this use can best be summed up in this excerpt that I had heard sometime while I was in high school:

**I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it as we traveled?

What if we used it in case of an emergency?

What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?

This is something to make you go...hmmm...where is my Bible? 

Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't ever have to 

worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. **

Pretty neat to think about, huh? Or, if we are being honest with ourselves, that can actually be hard to hear if we took it to heart.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says: "All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."  

I know our lives can get insanely hectic from the demands that come from everyday life: job, school, relationships, friendships, etc. But, no matter how busy our lives may get, the Word of God is the one and only source that never fails to answer....It's just up to us to open up and listen to what God has to say.
